Competitions
The MAA sponsors numerous competitions for students, including the William Lowell Putnam exam for undergraduate students, and the American Mathematics Competitions (AMC) for middle- and high-school students. This series of competitions is as follows:
- AMC 10/AMC 12, a 25-question, 75-minute multiple choice exam
- AIME, a 15-question, 3-hour short answer exam
- USAMO/USAJMO, a 6-question 2-day 9-hour proof based olympiad
Through this program, outstanding students are identified and invited to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad Program. Ultimately, six high school students are chosen to represent the U.S. at the International Mathematics Olympiad.
